Overview:
This bulletin involves inspection and correction of a backlite sealer void.

Symptom/Condition:
The customer may experience the presence of water on or under the rear area floor
carpet.

Diagnosis:
This condition may be due to water leaking past a small void in the adhesive used to retain the
backlite glass to the body panel. The backlite glass is retained to the vehicle body by urethane
adhesive. If the water leak is due to a small void in the backlite glass adhesive then perform the
Repair Procedure.

NOTE: DO NOT replace the backlite glass because of a small void in the backlite glass
adhesive. Due to the possibility of backlite glass breakage during the backlite removal
process, it is recommended that a flowable sealer be applied to seal a small void in the
backlite adhesive.

Parts Required:

Qty. Part No. Description

1 04467708 Silicone Windshield and Glass Sealer (flowable)

Repair Procedure:

1. Along the outside backlite-to-body panel urethane adhesive joint, dry off the affected area(s)
